Here we go.
The following session produces the mentioned UTF8 error:

>>> txt = "<master desc='blah\325weird' />"
>>> def startelt(name, dic):
... 	print name, dic
... 	
>>> p=expat.ParserCreate()
>>> p.StartElementHandler = startelt
>>> p.Parse(txt)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeError: UTF-8 decoding error: invalid data

Behavior depends of the ASCII code.
>From code 128 (0200) to 191 (0277) the parser gives an
not well-formed exception, as it should be.

The codes from 192 to 236, 238-243 produce
"UTF-8 decoding error: invalid data",
the rest gives "not well-formed".

I would like to know if this happens with your (Tim) modified
version as well. I'm using plain vanilla BeOpen Python 2.0 .

cheers - chris
